Netradyne, a global leader in AI-powered fleet safety and performance technology, announced it will power the intelligence and safety layer for National Highways for Electric Vehicles (NHEV) across India’s emerging Electronic Highway network. The initiative introduces an intelligence layer into NHEV’s integrated e-highway infrastructure, with Netradyne’s AI-driven technology playing a central role in transforming long-distance electric mobility beyond charging into a safer, more connected, and operationally reliable system across national EV corridors.

Under the programme, Netradyne’s AI-powered solutions will be deployed in phases across connected commercial vehicles operating on NHEV-supported corridors. The integration will enable real-time fleet visibility, predictive risk detection, driver behaviour insights and operational monitoring for commercial EVs travelling across India’s e-highways. The collaboration builds on prior pilot learnings and marks the transition towards a more integrated and technology-enabled highway ecosystem.

NHEV is driving a national vision to transform India’s highways into Electronic Highways designed to support connected and dependable electric mobility at scale, with expansion planned across 26 highway corridors by 2027. Through its integrated approach combining charging infrastructure, energy management, digital systems, financing enablement and operational support, NHEV is working to build a commercially viable long-distance EV ecosystem for India.

As part of this framework, Netradyne’s AI platform will add a critical intelligence and safety layer through driver behaviour analytics, vehicle monitoring and corridor-level operational oversight for commercial EVs operating across NHEV-enabled corridors.

“The world has seen what broken supply chains and oil shocks can do to an economy. NHEV E-Highways are India’s preparedness-driven economic lifeline, ensuring that the movement of essential goods never stops — whether during peacetime, lockdowns, or geopolitical oil crises impacting global supply chains,” said Abhijeet Sinha, Program Director, NHEV in a statement.

“Being part of NHEV’s Electronic Highway initiative reflects the scale at which AI-driven mobility infrastructure is evolving in India. Our role is to provide real-time intelligence that improves driver safety, fleet visibility and operational responsiveness across these E-Highways. By enabling early detection of driver fatigue, unsafe behaviour and vehicle distress, we can help reduce road risk and make long-haul EV operations safer and more reliable,” said Durgadutt Nedungadi, Senior Vice President, EMEA & APAC- Business, Netradyne in a statement.

The initiative also builds credible and scalable policy recommendations with real-world validation and implementation for the Group of Transport Experts (GTE) to contribute in India’s broader connected mobility priorities of the PMO's (Prime Minister’s Office) vision to set up an Apex Transport Authority and the convergence of transport, telecom and digital infrastructure.

For fleet operators and financiers, the collaboration is designed to create a stronger trust framework for long-distance EV adoption through safer journeys, improved fleet uptime, operational visibility and better asset reliability. By combining NHEV’s integrated highway infrastructure and support architecture with Netradyne’s AI-driven safety intelligence, the ecosystem aims to make commercial EV operations more dependable, scalable, bankable, viable, profitable and sustainable.
